Would You Benefit from Neck Liposuction?

Candidates for neck liposuction should be healthy with a minimal amount of sagging skin. Significant amounts of loose and sagging skin could be worsened by the removal of underlying fat. Concerns that can be addressed with neck liposuction include:

• Excess neck fat
• Double chin

If you are also bothered by excess skin on the neck and face, a facelift or other skin-tightening procedures can be discussed at your initial consultation.

The Neck Liposuction Procedure

Neck liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, meaning you are awake but completely numb during the procedure. A small incision will be made under the chin and then a hollow tube called a cannula is inserted under the skin. Excess fat tissue is sucked out through the cannula with a vacuum-like technology. This is an outpatient procedure so patients can return home after surgery.

Neck Liposuction Recovery

Recovery from neck liposuction takes about two weeks. During this time, mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but can be alleviated with pain medications and cold compresses. You will also be given a special compression garment worn as a chin strap to reduce swelling. This should be worn for 3-4 days while you rest and recover at home. Most patients can return to work after one week and all of their normal activities after two weeks.

“It’s not too often that you find an office where you are impressed not only with the doctor, but also the staff. Dr. Ghafouri is professional and honest and doesn’t try to upsell procedures if he doesn’t think they’re the best option. The aesthetician in his office (Kim) is wonderful. I never feel rushed and she always encourages questions. I’d highly recommend this office to anyone looking for expert and attentive care.”
